VMC - Vector Design Software for Monitor & Control System
Vector Design Software for Monitor & Control System (VMC) is independently designed and developed by a professional project team of Prodigy since 2004. Over years of trial operation and commercialization as well as three upgrades, VMC has become a mature, stable and efficient system software and enjoys a good fame in the industry.
With all normal functions offered by traditional M&C software, VMC highlights the powerful flexibility that it provides for the operators. Throwing away fixed monitoring functions, VMC presents a customized design platform. Whenever equipment under M&C system deleted, added or even configuration changed, operators of VMC can easily adjust or re-design the M&C system with no influence to equipments operation, system running or real-time monitoring. Are you familiar with drawing tools in Microsoft Office Software? It’s quite similar.
Functions
Independent Design：Operator can design system topology and define content needed to be monitored.
Real-time Monitor：The status and operating parameters of monitored equipments can be real-time collected. Equipment status can be shown in different colors in the system topology. Alarm details be listed in Alarm Windows with audible sound.
Control and Configure：Equipment can be controlled or configured remotely by VMC.
Data Store and Inquiry：Store equipment parameter status, alarms and other events with inquiry functions.
Security management： Multi-level user permission system, which records all operations in history to guarantee security operation.
Advantages
◆ Flexible design platform
☆ In design mode, by using a graphical design tool, operator can design system topology, define font, shape, color and sound, and associate the definitions with graphic primitives.
☆ Add or delete monitored equipment if necessary, modify system topology and logic control if necessary.
☆ Select commands included in the driver for monitored equipment so as to define controlled elements.
☆ User-defined report generation.
☆ User-defined alarm approaches. Once alarms occur, VMC can inform operators by difference approaches, such as changing the border color, filling color, font color, text display of device vector graphics, as well as sending audible alarms and messages to operators as configured in advance.
◆ Powerful monitor function
☆ Various ways to collect data: Ethernet, RS232/422/485, digital and analog.
☆ Easy to expand: data collected from distributed areas and controlled in the center. VMC can set up a unified database management for quantities of equipment and distributed areas through data collecting servers.
☆ Layout by levels：VMC can easily show layouts by levels of stations, equipment rooms and systems.
☆ Intelligent operation management：Intelligent and easy operations can be realized by system logic settings, which simplifies complicated operation procedures.
◆ Flexible inquiry and analysis function
☆ Operators can check or analyze, by conditions or filters, all the data recorded in VMC even during system running without any interruption of formal operation.
☆ VMC can draw historical tendency charts for one or more related parameters of important equipment by day / week / month / quarter / year, which helps operators to analyze operation status of equipments.
◆ Perfect user management
☆ multi-level operation and management for high security.
☆ different security level defined for different devices and different operators.
